Default Multiple Issues... Need advice.

My 2005 Dodge Ram has 43,333 miles. I got it a little over a month ago. Up until yesterday I had almost no issues with it. Now my wipers bug out sometimes, only working on the fastest setting. Also the high beams dont always switch on the first pull back, sometimes I have to pull it back 3 or 4 times before it switches. When I first got the truck, the headlights didnt have that 30 second auto off, they just shut off. Yesterday the auto off worked... When my low-beams are on, my high-beam dash light flickers really dull every few seconds. I'm guessing it's a bad ground? Can anybody direct me to the problem/where the ground may be? If nobody can help, it's going back to the dealership and they can keep it for 3 days and give it back after doing nothing to it like they did with my durango.

Also check the underside of the fuse box, especially in northern (salt in winter) states, the salt/slush splashes up on the underside and corrodes sh*t like crazy...
